Hi :)

any recommendation for a computer case that can be used with Debian
stable ;)?
Ok, it's slightly OT, I'm sorry for that. However, experiences with
cases regarding to noise (and heat), accuracy of fit for cards are
interesting for me, others might be interested in space (and vertical
stability).

While any case can be used, there are some considerations:
- cooling
  - larger fans are generally quieter
  - do you want liquid cooling?
  - extra fans in front for RAID array?
- convenience
   - exposed 3.5" bays are handy for card readers, extra USB ports, etc.
   - exposed bays for hotswap drives
- layout
  - will the case wires reach the motherboard pinouts?
  - can it handle the video card(s) you want?
- design
  - flat to without fans to allow stacking things on top?
  - slim or fat?
